To assist the horse owner in proper handling and restraining of their horse, there are several products available.
Things to Consider:
Experience -- Horse restraints and twitches should only be used by well-experienced handlers or under supervised help. Horses can become easily upset when learning to adjust to restraints, which can easily lead to injury of both the handler and the horse.
Proper tension -- When using a twitch, it is important to watch your horse and respond with less or more tension, depending on their movements, particularly head motions.
Introduction -- It is always better to introduce restraints and twitches before they are actually needed. This will help you to be more calm during use, as well as the horse.
